What a wonderful site! Thanks for sharing this wealth of knowledge!
Wonderful site Tim very helpful!! cant wait to see more! Thank you Tim
Wonderful site and so nicely designed. I am excited to be a part of it. Looking forward to learing and sharing lots of great information and smiles.
I stumbled across this blog and it has been very informative and helpful. I have a couple of online shops, one of which I sell hand made skin and bath care products. I don’t have an etsy shop. I sell from my own site. I have had a low traffic count and wondering if my images are up to par. Thanks for the tips on taking photos. I am going to implement them the next time I photograph my images.
Just wondering, does anyone know the best way to take images of gift baskets so that they don’t look blury and so you can see more detail? I have a macro feature on the camera but I like to get background decorations like rose petals in the image so I have to move far away. Any suggestions? Please feel free to email me direct at info@reviyve.com
Thank you

Don’t mean to be overwhelming, but I just have to comment again.
Timothy - I’ve blogged about your Handmadeology: http://bearmountainjewlry.blogspot.com/
Good video on getting around etsy. Even those of us that have been at etsy for awhile need this.
I am really enjoying your site and the videos. Thank you for this excellent help. I am eagerly looking forward to more.
You never cease to amaze me Timothy. Nice job, well executed.
Great jeorb Tim! All your hard work is paying off. We have so much to learn from the master.
Tim, fantastic as always. Thanks so very much.
Hey Tim, that was really well done. I think this will be an invaluable resource for new etsy folks who may find the whole thing a bit daunting. I don’t know how you find time to do all that you do.
Love this !!! Clear & Concise. Can not wait till you get to the other features…As a newbie this is very valuable.
A great intro to Etsy–wish I had something like this when I signed on to sell in Aug–am looking forward to next lesson on artfire…thanks
Congratulations!
The site is fabulous. We will all be tuning in regularly.
if you have a slower connection just hit the pause button and let the vid load all the way!
Hi,
Sorry I didn’t know where to ask this question, but I started watching etsy 101 and the video pauses for a very long time - alot.
Is it my computer? Do I need to update something?
Thanks,
Joyce
Your new endeavor looks great! Congrats on a successful launch!
this was awesome…very basic information…helpful to a newbie for sure…
thanks tim…
SUPER COOL and SUPER EASY TO UNDERSTAND! I love what you are doing here, Timothy!! You are not only a great asset to Etsy (and ArtFire now), but also to the “general” selling online community!
love writing about etsy, etsy sellers, nature and anything that will help and encourage others. It’s been a learning experience and I have truly enjoyed meeting so many other people/sellers. Love to feature other sellers and interesting people on my site.
thanks… lots of work and no sleep!!! but i love it!
Lookin’ good, Tim!
I am sure you spent more than a few hours setting this up. I am also sure that the benefits to all of us who will use this site to learn the ropes, so to speak, will be enormous. It is perfectly fitting that our gratitude should be equally enormous. Mine is.
a very grateful,
Shelley, the NCTeddyBearLady
You bet Carrie….. there is more to come!
and thank you!

What a great site. The videos are wondeful. Everything is spelled out starting and being successful on Etsy.
Thanks for all the hard work!
I will be posting new videos all the time… enjoy!
It sounds like it will be great. Are you posting a new video each day for
etsy 101 or are they all here already? Once again I have to say thank you
for doing this.
You are very welcome.. there is still tons to ad to the site over the next few months!!! both for Etsy and Art Fire!
